Things to Look at in a Museum by Taryn Day

oil on masonite
7"x5"

This past Sunday I spent several hours covertly taking pictures at the Philly art museum. I loved this woman's lime green pants, which in the painting are more strongly colored than in this image. Funny what photos do to paint- the light area of the wall is cool, but this image makes it look like the cool blue/grey is separated from the rest of the wall and ready to walk off (really it sits there nicely).

Photos can be so tricky. I have a hard time photographing when the background is very dark. This is a lovely painting and I love the green pants! Your works have such an energy and I love the people you capture "covertly" taking your pictures!!
